Tracking Issue for const_path_initialization

[conradludgate]

Feature gate: #![feature(const_path_initialization)]

This is a tracking issue for initializing &Path from a &str in a const context.

Public API

impl Path {
    pub const fn from_os_str(s: &OsStr) -> &Path;
}
impl OsStr {
    pub const fn from_str(s: &str) -> &OsStr;
}

Steps / History

• Implementation: const Path initialisation #92930

Unresolved Questions

• from_str conflicts with FromStr::from_str, what alternative name should we choose?
• Should we provide a direct &str -> &Path conversion, instead of requiring to go through OsStr?
